We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Scala Engineer with experience in scalability and high volume data processing. In this role, your main focus will be on designing and implementing solutions to maintain multi-version product catalogues, with a particular emphasis on read/write operations performance (MySQL), scalability and stability of our core Catalog microservice (Scala).

Our core programming languages include Scala and TypeScript (with some TypeScript and/or PHP knowledge required). We work in a service-oriented environment hosted on the Google Cloud Platform. We already have a lot of nice things in place in terms of build and deployment tools to get code out there several times a day, experimentation and metrics so that we can make smart choices and monitoring so we know when something goes wrong.

We work closely with other engineering teams, product and project managers, product designers, business representatives and external partners to build a robust e-commerce platform that enables our customers to grow their businesses and our technology partners to build robust integrations and enhancements on top of our APIs. We have a team of people at different levels and with different expertise and we work to iterate, learn, and build great software together.
